An international student discovered a piece of 9th century gold just 90 minutes into her first archaeological excavation.

The early medieval object was found by Newcastle University student Yara Souza at a recent excavation in Redesdale, Northumberland.

The find is approximately four centimetres (1.5 inches) long and has a decorative finial at one end.
